Team’s photo shoot – FILM NOIR The F.A.M.E. Team will certainly be celebrating their recent collaboration with ghd. The results of their photographic shoot with Jack Eames entitled FILM NOIR ticked all the boxes for all those involved. Showcasing what could be achieved with the revolutionary stylers, the theme of the shoot was strongly influenced by FILM NOIR and the 60’s, with a strong, moody edge reminiscent of Jean-Loup Sieff’s powerful black and white images. Errol Douglas MBE, mentor and art director for The Fellowship’s F.A.M.E. Team 2011 commented: “We wanted a look that had some history, yet wasn’t period looking – keeping the key element fresh and young like the F.A.M.E. Team themselves”. Creating her look Leah Walton from The Colour Room opted for a glamorous and expensive look – high gloss and high fashion, for her second look an up-do with a fabulous soft quiff – textured and airy – you could almost see each wisp of hair which is exactly the result she was looking for. Halo’s Joseph Ferraro was next to showcase his two very different looks. An accomplished hairdresser he made use of the fabulous array of electrical appliances made available to him. Altin Ismaili from Marc Antoni opted for shine and sheer sexiness whilst George’s Natalia Maxwell chose a very natural, subtle look. “We wanted a look that had some history, yet wasn’t period looking – keeping the key element fresh and young like the F.A.M.E. Team themselves.” Errol Douglas COVER CREDITS Hair by: The Fellowship for British Hairdressing F.A.M.E.

There’s motivation aplenty – in particular, our brands aimed at inspiring our aspiring younger members It’s fast approaching... the time of year most of us in this wonderful profession refer to as the ‘silly season’! The year’s final three months when we gear-up for our busiest period and work to capacity and when some of us – most of our membership in fact – start preparing for Salon International. With that in mind, I must put into the spotlight someone we all know and love – Ann Herman. I extend my kindest thanks to Ann for all of the hard work and energy she’s put into this project throughout the summer months. As Show & Team coordinator, Ann has worked tirelessly to ensure our Salon International stage has a back-to-back line-up of sheer quality which will, as always, present the Fellowship’s excellence to the hairdressing universe, ensuring our organisation stays No1 in the world of artistically focused hairdressing.

Mark Creed President Chairman’s Review by Kevin Arkell Publishing our eighth issue of FM 2011 marks a change of season: farewell summer, welcome autumn! Autumn is a season packed full of Fellowship activities, including seeing the latest Signature Style collection being published in hair and consumer press. The autumn/winter collection was created by another fantastic line-up of Fellowship members – Errol Douglas MBE, Richard Ward and Charles Worthington. Each of these iconic hairdressers gave us a very valuable, and much valued, day of their time to reveal and recreate their proposed Signature Style for autumn. Our Fellowship Hairdresser of the Year, Sacha Mascolo-Tarbuck, was also at the photo shoot, arriving straight from London Fashion Week runway shows to create new looks fresh from the catwalk. All the styles were captured by legendary photographer Andrew O’Toole and will be available to view on the Fellowship website from September. We can also look forward to seeing them FM 04 in print in our trade media, from the oldest title, Hairdressers Journal, through to the youngest title, Tribute (a magazine which grabbed Sacha’s pictures hot off the press and has made a big splash on her creativity.) The Signature Style imagery also supports The Fellowship’s special hair colour promotion soon to go live in consumer hair-focused magazines including Blonde, Hair, Hair Matters, Hairflair, Hairstyles Only, Hair Now, Perfect Hair And Your Hair. A very big Fellowship thank you for this wonderful coverage and to Julie Bellinger-Gibb for her hard work in securing it all in the first place. So with autumn still top of mind, Salon International is looming on the horizon, and this year, The Fellowship stage and line-up of stars promises to be bigger, better and even more impressive than ever, so I’m very much looking forward to seeing you all there! colourup! STORY BY ELLIE ADAMS PHOTOGRAPHY RAY BIRD The Fellowship’s Colour Night, held at the Toni&Guy Academy was an event celebrating real artistry and skilful technique. Eight fabulous colour experts, including our very own President Mark Creed, took to the stage for Colour Night to share their consummate knowledge of colouring and demonstrate their latest techniques on two models each. An exciting array of tones and shades were shown, from bright turquoise juxtaposed with white blonde, to colour blocking in purple and cherry red. Joining Mark Creed were Jo O’Neill, Mariesa Ferraro, Eduardo Paludo, Chris Williams, Sharon Cox, Edward Darley and Tim Scott-Wright. A highlight of the evening was the audience being treated to an on-stage interview with the queen of colour, the legendary Annie Humphreys. International Colour Ambassador for Davines, Eduardo Paludo, presented a look focused on the grown out ombré summer look: dark roots and light ends which he coloured to morph into a perfect, flawless graduation of colour. Inspired by girls who’ve achieved the look naturally, courtesy of the sun, Eduardo also looks to the elements for his influences. “I look at plants, the changing of the seasons,” he said. “For example, when winter defrosts into spring, there’s a graduation of colour from which I can draw inspiration.” HOB Educator and Art Team member, Mariesa Ferraro, showed her colour blocking technique inspired by autumn/winter fashion trends. Mariesa’s colours featured a palette of rioja reds with ruby tones painted through the fringe. Mariesa looks to the street for inspiration. “Street fashion plays a huge part, but what is most important is for the cut and colour to work together,” she said. “Colour the cut, not the other way around. You always have to keep the client in mind too and think about how you can progress a client’s colour.” Sassoon’s colour genius, Edward Darley impressed the audience with his models reflecting the company’s Tribe 2 Collection which feature a technique called ‘mono blocking’. This method uses three tones from the same colour family to create a beautiful yet strong effect. Emphasising the nuances of the technique, FM 05 It is crucial not to overpower any one colour. The colours need to be used to create shape and balance and even volume to accentuate the cut. Edward said: “It is crucial not to overpower any one colour. The colours need to be used to create shape and balance and even volume to accentuate the cut.” with colour and depth at the roots of the hair using solid crazy colouring in turquoise. “With crazy colours you have to go in gently as they produce such bright hues,” Tim warned. International Technical Director for Toni&Guy, Jo O’Neill, showed a model with a fresh stance on the ubiquitous blonde. Taking note from Giles Deacon’s spring/summer collection, Jo wove soft pastel shades throughout the style, creating a beautiful fluidity of colour throughout the hair. She then took five panels of hair, painting them in rose, lilac and gun metal shades to create a fusion of different tones. Enlightening the audience on Toni&Guy’s collection process, Jo explained: “When we put a collection together, we ensure the techniques are quick and commercial, ready for salon work.” Educational Director for Sanrizz, Sharon Cox, left no doubt where her passions lie. “I just love colour and a great haircut is naked without it,” she said with passion. Sharon worked with a deep violet shade flashed over the model’s disconnected, geometric precise haircut. Working with standards of perfectionism, Sharon insists on clean and orderly working methods, creating compact foils to ensure a clean sharp panel of colour. Although trained primarily to cut, Tim Scott-Wright is now Art Director of the Lisa Shepherd Salon group. Treating the audience to looks from the Back to my Roots collection, Tim played around FM 06 International Colour Director for Rush, Chris Williams, revealed a steady hand as he painted on colour to create graphic shapes and a strong form of colour banding around a haircut. He stressed the need to paint the colour into the natural fall of the hair, otherwise the shape would be lost. Having trained as a colourist 16 years ago, Chris says he wouldn’t start cutting now: “Being a colourist allows you a sense of creative freedom.” Director of Philosophy Hairdressing, Mark Creed, was keen to promote the technical aspect of colouring. “Tonight is about hardcore colour technique and trying to create curves and shapes into the haircut via colour,” he said. His inspiration was the children’s art toy called Spirograph, and the outcome was successful in creating beautiful curvatures. With a career spanning 25 years, he explained he has not cut hair in all those years apart from when being trained. “Colour is a profession in its own right,” he said with conviction. How fitting then for the evening’s guest speaker to be the woman who pioneered colouring as a profession all its own – the inspirational Annie Humphreys. Describing Annie as Sassoon’s right-hand man, Mark interviewed her, chat-show style for the benefit of an audience eager to hear all. With a career beginning in 1955, Annie has consistently transformed the world of colour. “In those times we were writing the rule book, remember back then you could do serious damage, we were working with raw ammonia and 100 volume peroxide. I was pushing the boundaries commercially, creating all things new.” Extolling the virtue of colour and its ability to make a cut ‘pop’ she also explained not to colour just for the sake of it, which can detract from the value of a haircut unless it’s done in a sensitive and complementary way. With such a vast wealth of experience under her belt, Mark asked why Annie had never opened her own salon; “Why would I?” She responded. “I worked with the best in the business, they created canvasses for me, but I couldn’t take them all with me. It is crucial to remember that colouring is a team effort, we’re not a one man band, everyone is important.” Tonight is about hard-core colour technique and trying to create curves and shapes into the haircut via colour. Colour is a profession in its own right. FM 07 BackstageP STORY BY ELLIE ADAMS Mark Creed Chris Williams Eduardo Paludo Edward Darley Philosophy Rush Davines Vidal Sassoon Why did you choose colour over cutting? Why did you choose colour over cutting? Why did you choose colour over cutting? Why did you choose colour over cutting? A natural aptitude and eye for all things colourful! When I started training I saw hair colouring was in its infancy, that there would be huge developments in product technology to facilitate a more artistic approach to colouring hair. It was the only way to get my foot in the door as at the time, only colourists were being recruited. So I took the position without really knowing what it meant; but having said that, I wouldn’t change things. It was the right decision and I absolutely love it. Well I started with both in Milan. But it was when I moved to London that I fell in love with colouring. It’s beautiful, I didn’t realise how creative it could be. The icons! Sassoon has a very definite and famous team of colourists. I was led into it by the greats. What are your predictions for autumn/winter 2011? What are your predictions for autumn/winter 2011? When laced in micro fine splices through top layers, they add a movement and sheen that screams modernity and warms and flatters a winter complexion. The more daring will opt for larger ribbons of colour delicately placed through the focal points of the haircut. Two things for the consumer: One, we will be staying with the current gold theme, but introducing a softer, more natural vibe and two, dip dying will thrive, but we’ll see it move into a grungier, brighter direction. What are you presenting tonight? What are you presenting tonight? A new technique which involves precision colouring very fine hair slices using four different red hues to create shape – colour arcs which create focal points within the haircut. Like everyone I have two models, and I’m presenting an interpretation of the ombré look, umber colours playing with reddish browns and copper tones. I am colour blocking my other model with violets and greys, leaving clean ends. FM 08 What are your predictions for autumn/winter 2011? We will move away from colour panelling into a more natural look where very fine strands of hair will be given bright vibrant colour, using strong shades. This will ultimately enhance the overall effect while looking natural. What are you presenting tonight? Tonight I’ll be presenting two looks from the Davines Nattura collection which draws its inspiration from nature. You’ll see how the change of the seasons has influenced the way in which shades transitionally graduate. What are your predictions for autumn/winter 2011? The exciting thing is the dip dye; we’re seeing it everywhere. What’s good about it is it celebrates technique. What are you presenting tonight? Two looks from the Sassoon Tribe 2 collection. Tribe 2 is all about looking at fashion for the individual and creating singular specific looks tailored to this. Tonight, look one is from ‘home’ with a hippy folk vibe and look two is from ‘zen’ which is all about minimalism. ass The Fellowship Colour Night July audience enjoyed an all-star line-up of hair colourists extraordinaire. FM snuck into the host’s backstage area (the Toni&Guy’s London Academy) to get up close-and-personal with the iconic colourists before they began sharing their skills with Fellowship members... Tim Scott-Wright Jo O’Neil Sharon Cox Marissa Ferraro Lisa Shepherd Toni&Guy Sanrizz HOB Why did you choose colour over cutting? Why did you choose colour over cutting? Why did you choose colour over cutting? Why did you choose colour over cutting? Technically I do both, but since working at Lisa Shepherd I have become more of a colourist as we are a colour-specialist salon. I did both for nine years but I was drawn into colouring. It is innately more fascinating, allows for a different way of using your mind and a different technique of dispensing ideas. For example, you see the shimmer of water or metal and think: ‘How can I put that into hair?’ I just love colour. It is a great way to accentuate the form of a haircut, as the shape acts like a blank canvas. My philosophy is that colour is the perfect accessory for any haircut. I have always had a paintbrush in my hand; art continues to inspire me to colour. What are your predictions for autumn/winter 2011? I think we’ll see lots of solid colour, undercut toning and jewel colours. What are your predictions for autumn/winter 2011? Block blonde – think along the lines of January Jones! Girls will be enjoying a full head of high lift tint. I also think it will be about making reds and coppers more interesting by working with more depth at the roots. What are you presenting tonight? Working with the roots is tonight’s agenda. I’ll be putting turquoise into the roots while keeping the underneath a full head bleach. The second look is more commercial as it is a dip dye of copper on a brunette base. I’m afraid I can’t say! As it’s our new collection I couldn’t possibly divulge. What are you presenting tonight? Tonight’s work is from Project 10 which features shades of the blonde spectrum presented in a playful, fun way. What are your predictions for autumn/winter 2011? What are you presenting tonight? I will be applying the Sanrizz colour technique and toying with geometry around the head shape. What are your predictions for autumn/winter 2011? Colour blocking will be big, and jewel-like tones will stay strong. We will also continue to translate looks from the catwalk. What are you presenting tonight? Tonight I will feature autumn/winter 2011 colours inspired by beautiful, rich, saturated tones. Iridescence is key this season as fashion dictates combinations of rich berry tones. Blackberry and blackcurrant meshes fuse together perfectly to give a stunning ‘tonic fabric’ finish to hair. Mark Creed, Philosophy FM 09 Colourful inspiration STORY BY KELLIE CHIN PHOTOGRAPHY TONY HENNESSEY Karine Jackson generously shared her skills and wisdom at this year’s inaugural Colour Project day. Happy and smiling: this year’s Colour Project group Colour Project aims to give Fellowship members access to the best possible learning resources to drive their imaginations and fire their abilities beyond what they thought ever possible. And at the July event at Wella Professionals’ London Studio – top colourist Karine Jackson certainly didn’t disappoint! As one of the UK’s best colour experts, London salon owner Karine pulled out all the stops, encouraging the new Colour Project students to push the boundaries of their colour work. Karine Jackson shares her Lotus Flower colour technique Karine then demonstrated her new Lotus Flower colouring technique on two live models. The Lotus Flower technique takes large, oval, petal shaped sections around the crown area, each ‘petal’ being subtly coloured in slightly different tonal variations to achieve a lovely natural flow of colour. The afternoon session saw members putting Karine’s Lotus Flower technique into practice on models provided by Karine. Karine, assisted by her Artistic Team’s Creative Director, Arash, began the course by presenting her colour collections both past and present, explaining the inspiration behind them and explaining how to put together a collection from start to finish. The Colour Project team’s co-leader, Tanya Hennessey, was blown away by the results. “The colour technique in Karine’s latest collection mixes a palette of beautiful colours which the students recreated using their individual artistry,” said Tanya. “A truly sensational day was had by all.” She spoke of the importance of staying ahead of the game in a very competitive world, where salons offer similar services. She explained that success rests on maintaining a balance of commerciality with unparalleled craftsmanship. Explaining the importance of revitalising colour services to inspire both the colourist and the salon clientele, Karine was full of positivity about the day’s attendees: “This year’s Colour Project Team is a mix of all ages and everyone is really interested in learning something new,” said Karine. “Their enthusiasm and passion for colour and affable personalities make them a pleasure to work with. I know they’re in for a good year.” FM 10 MASTERCLASS! Watching the Creative Masters at work STORY BY ELLIE ADAMS PHOTOGRAPHY KAI WAN Graphic cutting is the call of the night! Every model that sashays past wears her hair in a geometric form of precision and style. Box bobs, with strength and movement adorn the heads of the fashionable at the moment, so it is no wonder that The Fellowship of British Hairdressing have chosen to dedicate a Masterclass to honing the craft of the graphic. Edgy blunt lines of simplicity were contrasted with colour that popped, from pink to burnt orange which advanced the classic geometric shapes into cutting edge fashion. The Fellowship are known for showcasing excellence, and taking sheer talent that mould the future of hair with modern innovation. And that is exactly what occurred on Monday 1st August at Regents Park’s Holiday Inn. Stylists including Dan Spiller from Marc Antoni, Tracey Devine from Angels, Leonardo Rizzo from Sanrizz, Ben Moth from Brooks and Brooks, Karine Jackson from Karine Jackson, Natalie Houston from Mahogany, Luke Anderson from Philosophy, Andy Heasman from Rush, Robert Eaton from Russell Eaton, Deni Toledo Martinez from Sassoon and Indira Schauwecker from Toni and Guy, all took to the podium to demonstrate the art of precision cutting. The audience were free to walk around and inspect the performance, ensuring an up close and personal endeavour for the hairstylists, that enabled them to really show off their skill. FM 11 The Fellowship are known for showcasing excellence, and taking sheer talent that mould the future of hair with modern innovation This hub of inspiration didn’t end with the stylists however as the iconic and legendary Daniel Galvin OBE appeared as a guest speaker. The hair colourist has recently marked his fiftieth year in the business, yet the Galvin name has been synonymous with hairdressing for over a century. Daniel's grandfather and father were both hairdressers and while Daniel was still at school, he spent his Saturdays sweeping the floors and hanging up the towels at his father's London salon. “All I can do is hair!” Daniel says, “I still remain fascinated by hair colour and its power to transform the way we look.” FM 12 It is fair to call Daniel an innovator in the colour field, he was one of the first of his kind, and he paved the way for those who wish to advance hair styling further than the scissors. “I almost got fired every day for a year” Daniel muses, “Everything was an experiment, I would pick up cuttings from the floor and create my own colour chart.” Daniel is iconic in the hair world: “I developed a technique called brick work highlighting, until then highlights were simply painted on, with varying results! The first model I tried it on was an unknown Twiggy, well her success speaks for itself, it launched her career!” In Daniel’s own words “Fashion comes and goes, but style is forever”, and never a truer word spoken, as those stylists performing tonight proved. It is another success from The Fellowship, yet again providing a platform for the inspired and the ever-inventive hair stylists. FM 13 PROJECTX Project X styles it out Project X protégées just loved getting stuck into some serious session styling with the talented Zoe Irwin as their mentor for the day. The Fellowship’s Project X 2011 students enjoyed a brilliantly inspiring day in July, courtesy of session and celebrity stylist Zoe Irwin – one of the original founders of the course. Zoe’s day involved an editorial shoot themed around ‘texture’. Every student produced a look, practising techniques to achieve a range of different textures, creating looks as diverse as ponytails, braids and ultra-glam waves – all with an editorial feel and a commercial application. Zoe – who is currently studying a ‘creative collage’ module at St Martin’s College of Fashion – gave the Project X team invaluable advice on mood board creation and presentation, as well as a Q&A session on understanding the concept of ‘catwalk to client’. Said student Jodie Williams: “We learned so many tips and tricks – I just can’t wait to share them with my team back at the salon.” Fellow student Aaron Brewer agreed. “Thanks to Zoe, I really do now believe I can do session hair and understand how to adapt it to create commercial looks – amazing!” Explaining her approach to the day, Zoe said: “I wanted the group to think like creative directors and they were just great. Project X is all about the talent of tomorrow. It’s an opportunity for students to springboard their careers and the day I spent with them was very reassuring for me – there really is some amazing future talent coming through!” Big thanks go to the rest of the team who made the day such a success: photographer Richard Miles, make-up artist Sally Crouch, fashion stylist Bernard Connelly, his assistant Laurent Richer and Ray Bird for behind the scenes reportage pictures. And watch this space; next month the Project X team spends a day with Toni&Guy’s Gary France.

FM 15 Mantalk Students keen to know more about how to handle men’s hairdressing were in for a treat at the July Men’s Trend Workshop. Course attendees rocking up to London’s Alan d Academy to for the Men’s Trend Workshop had a great evening in store. Mentoring the event was twice Men’s Hairdresser of the Year Award Winner, Toni&Guy’s Jody Taylor, along with Alan d Education’s Ebru Alkaya and Mauro Bedola, Sassoon’s Deni Toledo, Errol Douglas’s right hand man Jamie Stevens, The Foss Academy’s Chris Foster and Marc Antoni’s Marcus Giamattei. Phew! What a line up of top notch specialists! An inspiring talk from Jody and Fellowship Vice President, Toni&Guy’s Gary France, led to students getting on with their models. Each master mentored two students, guiding them to create sharp and stylish cuts while dispensing plenty of advice for them to take back and share in their salons. Explained Sassoon’s Deni Toledo: “With guys it’s really important to get to know their personality, their lifestyle, how they manage their hair on a daily basis. You really don’t want to give them something they can’t handle!” And when it comes to men’s fashions, Alan d’s Ebru Alkaya said keeping your finger on the pulse is vital. “A vintage vibe is really hot at the moment, as well as guy’s wearing their hair as if they’ve just woken up. Fashion and tastes change, you must always keep up to date.” Jamie Stevens – also a twice-winner of the Men’s Hairdresser of the Year Award – said as we go into winter, we’ll see a lot more waves, movement, and length on top. With guys it’s really important to get to know their personality, their lifestyle, how they manage their hair on a daily basis. Ciente salon’s Liam Bray was thrilled to attend a Fellowship event that focused on men’s cutting. “I am very impressed with this event. I think there is a stigma that barbering is easy and that anyone can do it, but courses like these keep you up-to-date and motivate you to think outside of the box with your clients.” Another student who came away inspired was Maxwell’s salon’s Hayley Lawrence. “Courses like tonight are extremely beneficial to develop yourself as a hairdresser – more people need to attend nights like these otherwise you are just standing still.” Fellowship show-coordinator, Ann Herman, was very happy with the evening too. “Tonight was an idea that Past President Terry Calvert and I brought forward last year. It seems to have been a huge success – the enthusiasm of the students here tonight is incredible and moving forward, there will be a lot more of these events, we’re planning on taking it to the next level, so watch this space!” FM 16 Meet the Mentor Bruno Marc Giamattei Bruno is a director of award-winning Marc Antoni – the south of England’s top hairdressing group – founded in Henley-on-Thames 26 years ago by the Giamattei brothers, Bruno, Marcus, Simon and Aaron. The talented foursome has worked with dedication, drive and passion to develop a seven-strong salon group. A hairdresser for 30 years, 2007 Southern Hairdresser of the Year Bruno works on the floor of the Henley salon’ is a firm fixture on Wella Professionals’ shows and teaching seminar agendas, and a passionate leader of creative teams, is the current F.A.M.E. Team manager. One of my first hairdressing memories... ...Is being aged 18 and working at the Vidal Sassoon Academy when Vidal walked in. Like an army platoon, everyone stood to attention when he walked past, as if he was the Queen. I was amazed at how much respect a hairdresser could command. Shopping is a pleasure as it allows… ...Actually I hate shopping. I’m not good at it and only shop when I need to. And when I do, I’m very focused on getting exactly what I’ve set out to buy as quickly as I can! One of the most treasured items in my wardrobe is… ...My True Religion jeans, an absolute staple item in my wardrobe. Some pieces are too good to let go... ...I’ve got a hand-made, deep violet, silk Ozwald Boateng shirt which I thought was cool at the time, but you wouldn’t catch me wearing it now! It is hand crafted and tailored to fit with a matching tie, so it’s just too good to let go! One of my favourite memories... ...Is when my wife telephoned me at work to say: “Do you want the good or bad news first?” The good news was all was OK with her pregnancy, the ‘bad news’ was we were going to have twins! My client at the time asked if I was calm enough to do her hair as I couldn’t stop jumping up in the air! I first became aware of The Fellowship... ...When I was about 32 I was introduced to Ann Herman by Stephen Messias. I told her about Marc Antoni and where we wanted to go. Ann has been really supportive, giving us opportunities to show case our work, for which we’re always appreciative. As a hairdresser I use my instincts... The British hairdressing scene... ...to ensure my work is fresh and inspirational. ...I’ve judged competitions in plenty of countries and worked overseas from Austria to Australia and in my opinion, the British hairdressing scene is the strongest and most exciting in the world. Being a part of it stretches you – you’ve got to compete with the best to make yourself the best. One hairdressing moment I won’t forget... Discovering new talent is exciting... I've loved managing the F.A.M.E. Team. Watching them grow throughout each year – both individually and as a team – it's been both amazing and rewarding. Having said that there is nothing more rewarding than growing your own! The Marc Antoni team is my passion and the greatest award to date has been for their work to be recognised in the finals on the British Hairdressing Awards 2011. ...when I won a Fellow with Distinction award in 2010! I felt amongst friends – a very intense and emotional moment for me. If I could swap lives for the day... ...Moses, so I could rewrite those tablets. The least fashionable thing I do... ...I really enjoy going to car boot sales. I am not very good at... ...standing still. My trade mark is... ...I do not feel I can answer this question as the diversities in hair are always evolving. FM 17 An Evening with Ken Picton The ClubStar team have been a busy bunch over the last few months. One of the biggest highlights for the members was the opportunity to enjoy an evening with the fabulous Ken Picton. Ken, whose Cardiff salon was named Salon of the Year last December at the Fellowship for British Hairdressing Luncheon and Awards, and who has been shortlisted for no less than four British Hairdressing Awards this year, is a great inspiration to the members of ClubStar. The night was one of general recognition for one of the team’s biggest role models, and the young members of ClubStar were given the chance to be photographed with one of the leading lights of British Hairdressing.

FM 18 My Working Day Darren Messias Darren Messias joined KH Hair – the largest hairdressing group in the east Midlands – as a trainee, and was recognised as a rising star early on in his career by securing a place in the Fellowship’s F.A.M.E. Team. Working across many of the group’s salons, he became a director of the Leicester branch and has progressed to now be both a board director and creative director of KH Hair, responsible for the group’s marketing and creative strategies. My alarm goes off... ...my son Noah is my alarm clock these days; unfortunately he wakes up at around 6:30am! The first thing I do when I wake up... ...is remove my cat Alfie from my chest. On an average day I wear... ...it depends on what meetings we have, but I can categorically say it won’t be a suit! My skincare regime involves... ...well that’s simple; just soap and water. Before walking out of the front door... ...I kiss my fiancé Heidi and Noah. After leaving home... ...I shake my head at the horrific extension being built over the road from our house. On my way to work... ...I start planning and thinking about the day ahead and listen to the radio. My mornings... ...answering my emails and business planning with my co-director Tim. My salon essentials include... ...my MacBook Pro, paper, pen and a glass of water. At lunchtime... ... I eat a sandwich and some fruit. I don’t really snack, I try to eat healthily. On my to-do list today... ...is sort out some generic marketing templates for the salons, arrange a franchisee meeting and plan the agenda for it. Talk to our PR agency and hopefully squeeze a run in at some point. I leave work... ...at around 5:30pm and usually stop somewhere to buy something to cook in the evening. If I’m staying in I’ll wear... ...as little as possible! And if I’m going out... ...Paul Smith Jeans, Vivienne Westwood shirt, Trickers shoes and Acqua Di Parma aftershave. My bedtime grooming regime... ...to clean my teeth. The last thing I do before I go to sleep... ...kiss Heidi and tell her I love her. I dream about... ...I wish I could remember! My perfect Sunday... ...cooking a Sunday roast or a barbeque (when we have the weather!) for friends and family. My favourite way to wind down after work... ...cooking, much to Heidi’s delight.

FM 21 Paul Corbett – a talented, skilful hairdresser who completed his Francesco Group training in just two years and has gone on to enjoy a catalogue of achievements ever since..! Book that changed my life Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life. I just loved reading about him as he fought so hard for his beliefs. Recurring dream I always used to dream about a theme park and would always wake up just as I was about to fly off a ride! Really bizarre, but it's been a while since I had that one. Most loved fairy tale Does The Incredible Hulk count as a fairy tale? Nope? Ummm... Song known by heart Literally any song by The Smashing Pumpkins. I grew up with them constantly on repeat! Will never throw away My Dad's golden scissors which he received when he qualified as a stylist at Raymond’s. They even have the letter 'R' engraved on them in fancy writing. Dream lunch dates The Marx Brothers. I love their films and would love to have been around them at the height of their fame. Favourite film Dick Tracy. It has an amazing cast and the villains’ grotesque make-up still fascinates me. Worth fighting for Contentment. There’s a lot to be said for just being content with your lot. up’an’ comin’ Paul Corbett Brains or beauty? Why not both? Be ambitious! ColdPlay or The Killers? The Killers purely for Brandon Flowers dress sense. Aston Kutcher or Christian Bale? Christian Bale. Personal motto Ad astra per aspera. It means: To the stars through trials. Favourite destination Disney World in Florida. I've been lots! Most proud of My two beautiful daughters Scarlett and Pearl. They are, and always will be, the greatest achievement in my life. Epitaph Here lies Paul – soon to be haunting a hair salon near you! Would like to meet Tim Hartley. I'd love to hear about his career with Vidal Sassoon. Favourite Villain Bill the Butcher from Gangs of New York. An absolutely fascinating character to watch. Worth staying in for My wife and kids, every day of the week. People are surprised that I... Used to be a singer/guitarist in a grunge rock band called The Zombies in X-Ray Specs. Beauty is... in the eye of the beholder, I truly believe that. Success... is when you appreciate what you have. Happiness is... contentment. When you stop continually struggling for the next thing, everything you need comes your way.
